Picasso described himself as "a painter
without style," explaining: "Style is often something
which locks the painter into the same vision, the same technique,
the same formula during years and years, sometimes during one's
whole lifetime."
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Spanish artist. (quoted in: prefatory
text to exhibition catalog, Geneva, 1963).

"In the final analysis, 'style' is
art. And art is nothing more or less than various modes of stylized,
dehumanized representation."
Susan Sontag (1933-2004), American essayist. Against Interpretation,
"On Style" (1966).
